Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select Vivid Cinematic Rays from the list. The shader will activate immediately and you'll see the cinematic rays and bloom effects in your world.
Why do my cinematic rays look too dim or too bright?
Open the shader settings menu (usually accessible from video settings) and look for the Cinematic Ray Intensity slider. Adjust it to your preference—lower values create subtle rays while higher values make them more dramatic and visible.
Can I make the sun rays come from a different direction?
Yes, the shader includes a Ray Direction setting that lets you adjust where the light beams originate. This is useful if you want rays to match your world's sun position or create a specific mood for your build.
My torches and lava don't glow much—how do I fix this?
Locate the Bloom Effects or Bloom Intensity setting in the shader options and increase it. Higher bloom values make light sources like torches, lanterns, and lava more luminous and create a stronger glow around them.
